If you think GUI apps are all that matters, you aren't a very good developer. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

That's why I said "program or library" and not just
"program". Yes, it is unlikely that a full Java application that runs
on a Java VM on some platform could be compiled unchanged and just run as is on
a Dalvik VM. But Google had a reason for their design - The goal is to provide
Java developers some degree of ease in porting their work in Java over to
Android. That could be a matter of only having to rewrite their GUI classes. Or
maybe it is a matter of being able to re-use a library that is written in Java.
There is still a degree to which it is useful that a portion of a program or
perhaps all of a library can run on a Java VM and can also run on a Dalvik VM,
i.e., it is operable with both platforms, and that can be described as
"interoperability".[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
